Tmtail is a quick tmux hack, working (surprisingly well) as an ad-hoc replacement for multitail, implemented with tmux and grcat. Github: https://github.com/themadsens/tmtail

The following features thus come more or less for free:

- Mouse aware for select, resize etc.

- The full tmux copy-mode for scrollback browsing, searching etc

- Copy scrollback text to the clipboard (y & Y) without any fuzz, via tmux clipboard integration

- Easily extendible by adding bindings for tmux actions. The sky is the limit ..

Color highlighting is done with an node clone of grcat, grcat.js, which is about a factor 10 faster than the python original

Currently a default grcat configuration is baked into tmtail that should be well suited for tailing wildfly logs
